We are truly saddened by the news of Dutch passing. It was a privilege and honor to have known him, he was a great man who lived a great life and he will be missed by all. My mentor in life as well as the Safety field, he was my first supervisor. My accomplishments in this field I owe to him.

Uncle Dutch-
Your wit and charm will be forever missed! I will always remember our political rants. Maybe we'll get our Senator out of Spencer Carl someday. As you said, "Via condios mio Sabrino!"

It was a privilege to have Dutch as my boss at Minot AFB. He was a good teacher and friend. Because of his guidance the Safety office received all Excellent ratings while I was Ground Safety Officer. That would never have been possible if he hadn't taught me the ropes! I will miss his e-mails and his sense of humor! May God Bless and keep you in his loving arms!

Our thoughts are with you today, as always. We hope you can get some rest now. I'm thinking Dutch is up there with Mom, catching up on old times. When Mom died it gave me comfort knowing she was out of pain, I feel the same for Dutch. He will be missed
